[PATCH 1/2] sunrpc/cache: remove races with queuing an upcall.

[NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>]

We currently queue an upcall after setting CACHE_PENDING,
and dequeue after clearing CACHE_PENDING.
So a request should only be present when CACHE_PENDING is set.

However we don't combine the test and the enqueue/dequeue in
a protected region, so it is possible (if unlikely) for a race
to result in a request being queued without CACHE_PENDING set,
or a request to be absent despite CACHE_PENDING.

So: include a test for CACHE_PENDING inside the regions of
enqueue and dequeue where queue_lock is held, and abort
the operation if the value is not as expected.

With this, it perfectly safe and correct to:
 - call cache_dequeue() if and only if we have just
   cleared CACHE_PENDING
 - call sunrpc_cache_pipe_upcall() (via cache_make_upcall)
   if and only if we have just set CACHE_PENDING.
